How did you become responsible for rewarding positive action and providing negative feedback for incorrect action?
 
I would be interested in seeing your credentials.

Probably no less credentials than those who sit in the left lane when they should move over, as they do not want to tolerate "speeders".

Wouldn't courtesy also dictate the slower driver move over for the faster driver asap, even if the faster driver is speeding? Kind of like risk mitigation?
 
Why is sharing the road and being courteous a one way street?

Beautiful clear day here, traffic moved right along this evening. But as the skies were just a little lighter than in recent days (but streetlights had been on for some time), insane amount of cars with no lights, I stopped counting at around 10. All kinds of stuff from worn old cars to new Cayennes.
 
Didn't see anything too offensive, but did deal with a crosswalk crowder in a dopey Infiniti EX with bikes strapped to the back, and saw 3 (!) cars make turns from the wrong lane - Camry slammed on its brakes on a crowded fast 4 lane + turn lane arterial to make a left turn from a straight lane, Corolla did similar about a mile later, then on foot saw another Camry make a right turn from a straight lane.

Absolutely!
 
When we have LLC and LLD together, we have trouble. Two wrongs don't make a right!
 
I found the justification for driving aggressively to be rather disturbing. I hope he doesn't do something foolish while attempting to teach a lesson to some inconsiderate driver.

Justification? Not so much.
More like making excuses.

For truly aggressive stuff, I always tell myself that time catches up. When I see it on the road, I just think that eventually, the driver will cause a problem for themselves, maybe in more than one way. Nothing I can do about it.
  
However, I don't see a flash or two as particularly evil, nor even a toot of the horn. Swerving, really tailgating, etc, that's where the problems start.

I agree.
 
But when someone does things to teach a lesson, trouble will ensue.
